HA KONG -- There is no way to dynamically change the base table for a

           block. Some people have achieved similar functionality by
           basing their block on a synonym and basing their block on
           the synonym whose definition they change dynamically at
           runtime by calling SQL*PLUS. In Forms 4.0 we have the
           concept of record groups that are in-memory tables which
           can be populated by arbitrary SELECT statements, and
           transactional triggers which would let you populate your
           block from one of the record groups. Forms 4.1 will bring
           the concept of record groups and blocks even further into
           sync.
